Hey, I have a bit of an odd request. I won't be able to attend any of the upcoming west coast tour dates announced by Rasputina, but I'd like to have someone go on my behalf. My sister lives in the Seattle area, but she's thinking she can't make it, either. Rasputina will be selling a limited edition CD (only 30 copies) at these shows. Seattle is the first west coast show, and it would be really amazing if I could snag one of the CDs. I would be willing to pay for tickets, gas, and food for someone willing to go to the concert and try to get me one.

I do want one. Hopefully it doesn't come to eBay. I'm not too optimistic about eBay because I never could track down the limited edition of their album, Frustration Plantation, which I'm sure there were way more than 30 copies of.

Well, I was hoping someone could go to the Seattle show, but here are all of the tour dates. I'm not sure how she's allocating the 30 copies, as in, if she'll let them sell out at the first show, or if she'll only sell like 5 per show. Would anyone want to go to one of the other shows?

March 23 Seattle, WA Neumo's March 24 Portland, OR Hawthorne Theater March 25 Eugene, OR WOW Hall March 26 San Francisco, CA The Independent March 28 San Diego, CA The Casbah March 29 Los Angeles, CA The Troubadour

Normally I wouldn't have either but one of the reasons I keep coming back to this board is because I get to explore lots of new music I never would have heard of before. I give CV full credit for getting me hooked on Cello rock.

Yeah, I imagine she's making them herself, one at a time. From the email that informed me about it: "Melora will be bringing along a hand-bound CD triptych, 'The Willow Tree'- 3 songs by the same title, but originating from 3 different countries!"

mmmmmh, OK, but please tell me you didn't buy her perfume.Copied directly from the site...

Melora's Rancid Brain Oil ™A toxic oil is spreading through Melora's brain, causing headaches, cavities and skin lesions. Through a unique draining process, this disturbing substance is now available to you for use as a perfrume. The aroma of this substance is something akin to a Suffragette snacking on whiskey-soaked black licorice cords. Each bottle comes afixed with a label that is autographed by Melora.

Of course, maybe at $20, it's gotta be a bargain.
